Validtaiond, Struts, and html:javascript tag help

[RJ Herbst]

I'm trying to add validation to an existing struts 1.1 program. When I insert the <html:javascript> tag, the webpage outputs the validator-rules.xml javascript on the page as text, which causes my validation not to work. what am I missing, or what have I done wrong to cause this tag to change the validator-rules.xml to text on the screen?

Could you post the part of the code where the <html:javascript> tag is used. Is your form bean name correctly specified

By the way, could you also tell me the actual usage of <html:javascript>?

It will generate the Java Script, or it notices Struts engine to check the values in the form again some validation configuration file?

The validation rules, for fields of a form, written in validation.xml are executed server-side. These can also be executed client-side (javascript) by using the <html:javascript> tag. Note however that, most pre-defined validators provide javascript validation, but not all. You can check the validator definitions in validator-rules.xml to determine if a validator provides javascript validation. You will notice the javascript code written in the file, or you might find a reference to a .js file.

The <html:javascript> tag renders some javascript code on your page, all you have to do is make a call to a generated javascript method to initiate javascript validation.

Hope that answers you question, Nicholas

It may happen if you use html:javascript tag more than once in your JSP!
